Total passenger traffic volumes during August decreased at a slower rate than during any prior month of the year. This effect is principally the result of the performance of domestic traffic.

* Terminal passengers: includes passengers on the three types of
aviation (commercial, charter, and general aviation), and excludes
passengers in transit.
Domestic traffic. In general, the performance of VivaAerobus, Grupo Aeromexico, Aeromar, and Grupo Mexicana benefited domestic traffic. Three domestic routes were opened: Mexicana Link opened the Acapulco-Guadalajara and Guadalajara-Mazatlan-San Jose del Cabo routes on August 1, and Aeromexico Connect opened the Zacatecas-Mexico City route on August 11. The Culiacan, Durango, and Mazatlan airports reported traffic growth of 15.7%, 23.2%, and 2.6% respectively. However, the overall volume of domestic traffic was affected by the temporary suspension of operations of Aviacsa (suspended since July 6) and the departure from the markets of Alma, Aladia and Avolar. The Monterrey, Acapulco, and Ciudad Juarez airports had the largest traffic reductions.
International traffic. The principal factors in the reduction in international passengers were the cancellation of routes by Mexicana and Aeromexico; the suspension of Aviacsa; the departure of Delta from most of OMA's airports; and a reduction in frequencies by Continental. Monterrey and the tourist destination airports were the most affected.
